Images from Ash Receptacle Assessments Observation: open-mouth ash receptacles are subject to rain and wind, and are easily cross-contaminated with other products. KAB NOTE: Field-testing identified the need for ash receptacles with small openings to the side -- the goal is to reduce impact of weather and discourage collection of paper and/or other waste products in the receptacles. The cross-contamination discourages smokers from using the ash receptacle. Cigarette Litter Prevention Program
